OK, I guess I owe some gratitude to Amazon for their development, it is time to pay it back....
I am not working for Amazon or any company related to the promotion or similar. I bought a Kindle last month as present to my wife. It is the Kindle eReader, Wi-Fi, 15 cm (6 Zoll) E Ink Display ![]() This is the Kindle but NOT my wife! My opinion on it is that it is one of the most amazing pieces of HW I have ever seen! because: - amazing battery life (a couple of weeks up to a month per charge, normal USB chargeable) - extremely light (lighter than a paperbook) - amazing screen technology! Never seen something like this, you can read under direct sunlight, even while wearing sunglasses, and the more light falls on to it, the more white (like a book page) the screen looks like. - you can adjust the size of the text (the older you get, the bigger it has to be - you can e-mail to your "Kindle-e-mail-address" (you get a specific one with the Kindle you bought) any PDF, DOC, etc file and within minutes it will be converted to Kindle-format and be sent to your Kindle (provided your Kindle is within WiFi network) - All your books and files you sent to it are stored centrally at Amazon (you do not lose them if your Kindle get destroyed). - You can share the books among the Kindles of your family (provided the Kindles are all under the same Amazon account). - It costs 99USD or even less depending on the country. - It saves a lot more space having a Kindle than filling up tons os shelves with paperbacks. I am using it because I live in a country where it is very difficult to buy German books. Now I can log into Amazon Germany, buy the book I want and within minutes it will appear in my Kindle. Previously, I would have to wait for weeks for a German paperbook to arrive (and it would cost me 2-3 times the cost of the book due to transportation costs). My personal opinion as a user, Amazon did a great job with this Kindle model. And the price is right, too. ~S~ |

I've had mine about a year now and I've bought two of the new model; for my wife and my sister-in-law @ Christmas.

Kindle? Nook? iPad? Can't stop the onslaught of progress... Can't wait till we plug our brains into the Virtual 3D world of online gaming... WW2: Total Immersion... Put on the sensory feedback suit.... Set the timer and go back in time... Mentallly and physically...
May require some form of medication... But what the hell! Reality and mortality suck!... Who's with me?! Raaaid?!! |
